A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a mapping table is transmitted to a user device. The mapping table includes, for each entry, an index, a frequency band, and wireless services available on the frequency band. Index information corresponding to a frequency band and wireless service available in a location associated with the user device is communicated to the user device. An icon associated with the wireless service is displayed on a display of the user device. A network device determines that the user device is using the wireless service to communicate via a wireless network and transmits, to a core network, an indication that the user device is using the wireless service on the frequency band.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the system information further identifies an available frequency range.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the network device includes a wireless base station and wherein transmitting the system information includes broadcasting the system information.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein information associated with the frequency band and the multiple wireless services available in the location of service associated with the user device are passed to an upper processing layer of the user device to display the icon associated with the one or more wireless service.
9. The network device of claim 8, wherein the system information further identifies an available frequency range.
10. The network device of claim 8, wherein the network device includes a wireless base station and wherein, when transmitting the system information, the processor is further configured to broadcast the system information.
13. The network device of claim 8, wherein information associated with the frequency band and the multiple wireless services available in the location of service associated with the user device are passed to an upper processing layer of the user device to display the icon associated with the one or more wireless service.
14. The network device of claim 8, wherein the core network enforces quality of service policies associated with the authorized wireless service based on receiving the indication that the user device is using the authorized wireless service on the frequency band.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the system information further identifies an available frequency range.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the device includes a wireless base station and wherein the instructions that cause the device to transmit the system information comprise instructions that cause the device to broadcast the system information.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein information associated with the frequency band and the multiple wireless services available in the location of service associated with the user device are passed to an upper processing layer of the user device to display the icon associated with the one or more wireless service.
